Custom Order G&L Options
Since we're local to the G&L factory it's no surprise we specialize in "custom order" G&L's! We can get any new G&L model in any color, curly maple topped, birdseye necked, or ANY option that G&L offers!! Let the master craftsmen at G&L build you the guitar of your dreams!!
Here is a generic "list" of options ~ however some models already include certain features, so always ask us for details on the model you want. Prices are based on current G&L price sheet and are subject to change. (But we'll do our best to update this page if they do!)
